Welcome To The Home Of The EWMA Sarasota Sharks  **** THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN CHANGED - Notify The Webmaster Of Any Errors

Founders: Anita & JR Alkire and Bruce & Barb Beeman

Why? With the closure of GWRRA they felt the need to fill the void it would leave; so they decided to provide a simpler association focusing on Riding and Socializing with like-minded motorcyclist. Anita was approached by GWRRA to take ownership, but after asking Bruce to partner with her; they made the decision that a start fresh was a better way to proceed.
